SCICU Homework: Class 12/20

Dear Class,
Here is the homework for today, if you have any questions please write your messages here. Messages will be sent to everyone, and anyone may answer.

Due Friday 10/19
1. S3:
The previous S3 homework called for you to add the name of the tool you will teach the class to the DIY Textbook. I will explain more about how to prepare your teaching session next class, but to prepare for it you should now spend some time learning its main features.

2. Lesson 6 Google Docs & Spreadsheets (GDS)
: Spend an hour or two working on this activity. As usual, the aim is to complete one lesson within two class periods and to complete any unfinished work as homework. Therefore, you should complete Lesson 6 by next Tuesday, October 23. As usual, lesson materials and links to websites are in the Web Box on the Homepage.
